Photosynthesis Explained | Reactants, Products & Chloroplasts | 6th Grade Life Science

Carbon dioxide plus water plus light makes glucose plus oxygen. Where each ingredient comes from, what chlorophyll actually does, and why 'plants get their food from soil' is wrong. In this lesson: Carbon dioxide + water + light makes glucose + oxygen. It happens in the chloroplasts, using chlorophyll to catch the light. Light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in sugar. Plants MAKE their food - soil only supplies water and minerals. Then it's your turn: six practice questions with time to answer out loud, a recap, and a quick check. Supports NGSS MS-LS1-6.
